Campaign expenditures; creating the Campaign Expenditure Transparency Act. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 1051, the Campaign Expenditure Transparency Act, requires organizations spending money to influence Oklahoma elections (like ads or mailers) to disclose key contact information - such as their top officer and treasurer - within five business days. It bans anonymous spending through fake names, unregistered LLCs, or rented post office boxes, and authorizes the Attorney General to subpoena records to identify hidden entities. The Ethics Commission must maintain a public database of all disclosures, and violations carry civil penalties up to $25,000 or criminal fines up to $10,000, plus reimbursement for state investigation costs. The law aims to increase election transparency by making campaign funders identifiable.
